Valentine´s Day

Hi and good morning stitching friends. A very happy Valentine´s Day to you all.

Having a DH with half a gram or less of romanticism in his make up, I just popped outside to gather and rescue some pretty yellow freesias battling against the wind of yet another dark rainy day and so treat myself to their beauty and delightful fragrance.

This week I have made myself a new ipad cover,

using a little unknown cross stitch design I found on the Internet and odds and ends from my stash,

I added some lace and trim, sequins and beads and lined the cover with some soft red velvet.

I still like my cover with the cats made years ago but it is now rather worn and difficult to wash

and having said that, this new one looks like it might be difficult to wash also.

I did giggle when I read about your DH! I love Freesias, they have the most glorious scent. And talking about glorious....your new ipad is sumptuously beautiful. I love the embellishments, and that cross stitch picture is lovely...soooo romantic. Have yourself a wonderful Valentine's Day. =)

What lovely iPad covers! The new one is such a lovely romantic piece.. perfect for Valentine's Day. Sometimes we have to make our own romance! Don't worry about washing... you'll just make more when the time comes!

Ha ha--I love your comment about your husband's lack of romantic gestures, Sheryl! Mine is the same way, too, although he does appear with flowers for Valentine's Day (no card this year, though!).

Your Ipad covers--both old and new are great. You always find the most interesting designs to stitch--have never seen the romantic couple before. All the lace and embellishments make it even more special :)
